The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of this treatment for Grades Ⅱ and Ⅲ hemorrhoids. Preoperative and postoperative symptoms, complications and success rate were all assessed retrospectively. Follow-up consisted of a simple questionnaire, physical examination and an anoscopy. Patients were followed-up at one day, one week, two weeks, one month, one year, two years, three years, four years and five years after the ALTA sclerotherapy.RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-nine patients were diagnosed with Grade Ⅱ hemorrhoids and 435 patients were diagnosed with Grade Ⅲ hemorrhoids. The one year, three year and five year cumulative success rates of ALTA sclerotherapy for Grades Ⅱ and Ⅲ hemo-rrhoids were 95.9% and 93.1%; 89.3% and 83.7%; and 89.3% and 78.2%, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the cumulative success rates after ALTA sclerotherapy between Grades Ⅱ and Ⅲ hemorrhoids(P = 0.09). There were forty-seven post-operative complications(low grade fever; anal pain; urinary retention; rectal ulcer; and others). No serious or life-threatening complications occurred and all cases improved through conservative treatment. At univariate analysis there were no predictive factors of failure.CONCLUSION: ALTA sclerotherapy has had a high success rate for Grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ hemorrhoids during five years of post-operative treatment. However, additional studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of this ALTA sclerotherapy in the management of hemorrhoidal disease.展开更多
目的系统评价负压引流技术和常规疗法治疗Ⅲ、Ⅳ度压疮的临床效果。方法检索Cochrane Library,Pub Med,EMBASE,Web of Science、中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM)、中国学术期刊网络出版总库(CNKI)、万方数据期刊论文资源(WANFANG),维普中...目的系统评价负压引流技术和常规疗法治疗Ⅲ、Ⅳ度压疮的临床效果。方法检索Cochrane Library,Pub Med,EMBASE,Web of Science、中国生物医学文献数据库(CBM)、中国学术期刊网络出版总库(CNKI)、万方数据期刊论文资源(WANFANG),维普中文科技期刊全文数据库(VIP-CSJFD)、学位论文数据库等,补充其他途径获取的相关随机对照试验,按预先制定的纳入与排除标准筛选和纳入,并对纳入的RCTs的质量进行质量评价,数据采用State SE12软件进行数据分析。结果共纳入9个研究,共313例患者。纳入的随机对照试验(RCTs)的质量不高,Meta分析结果显示:与常规治疗相比,负压封闭引流技术可以加快Ⅲ、Ⅳ期压疮创面的愈合过程,缩短治疗时间和住院时间,同时减少换药次数,减轻疼痛。两种方法比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。但在创面愈合50%时所用时间方面,两者疗效没有统计学差异(P>0.05)。结论目前的证据表明,负压伤口疗法对治疗Ⅲ、Ⅳ期压疮有较好疗效,但仍需大量的临床试验的证明,从而指导临床实践。展开更多
